Love the way Jay says "39.95 a gallon" not that he has to worry about the costs,but the fact that he does,and the guy really does seem to remember where he came from,and that not everyone in the world is uber well off...
It's about $25 a gallon for regular antifreeze
@Pinkielover actually it's about 11 bux for straight,undiluted antifreeze @ wallyevilworld...
Jay is an obvious gift to humanity and the USA…
some say he is still tightening that cap
:-) LOL
I think I got that bottle, had to use vice grips to get the top off... LOL
professional deformation
Its Leno 🤓
in fact this coolant cap, takes the greatest numbers of tightening turns to seat properly..... In the world
Every one sold has cap tightened by him LOL
Matthew Snell just got home and I love the fact
I can't imagine Jay Leno getting that bottle opened.
Great product and on my 1973 V12 EType which runs extremely hot this is the perfect solution. Saves money on water pumps, hoses and clamps etc as it’s not pressurised. Great product for old classics!
"i use it in my rolls royce, my duesenberg, and my bugatti" only jay leno can say that lol
He said "one of my bugattis" who has more than 1 bughatti?

And he was polishing them himself
A 50/50 mix of distilled water and ethylene glycol will not cause corrosion. The problem is that most people use tap water which contains minerals/salt/chlorine. These contaminants are what causes electrolysis/corrosion.
+theedrstrangelove Tell that to the rusty mess that keeps coming out of my race motor every time the coolant lines need to be undone. That engine has never seen anything besides normal green stuff and distilled water after coming back from being tanked at the machine shop with all new radiator, hoses, etc. Give it two months in and the fluid is all nice and rusty.
+theedrstrangelove Many dealerships including Porsche DO NOT use distilled water. And just about all shops do not use distilled water to mix with ethylene glycol.
+Stev Rex So true on what you have said.
What do you think my comments from all dealers & shops using regular water?
No, I did not flunk chemistry. Besides this product is just expensive snake oil. And his product is not non toxic either.
theedrstrangelove My dear fellow car guys...distilled water tends to be more acidic. What makes for alkaline water is positively charged calcium, magnesium and a bit of potassium among other minerals in trace amounts. So distilled or not...water is still corrosive. I hope this helps guys.
Update to my original comment in 2017. I originally used Evans along with StopLeak as a stop gap on my leaky heater core. I drove it for nearly two years before replacing my heater core. I was able to reuse the Evans and it's in there to this day. It's just a good safety precaution in an older vehicle - no need to put extra pressure on old hoses.
Jay...as always you are brining up great questions.
We had one of those monitors back in the 70's in our shop for antifreeze.
Thanks for the education. YOU ARE THE BEST !!!
Love your channel keep up the great work
Hey, it's nice to see you talking about cars and motors, Jay!
Been using Evans for years now and im glad Leno turned me on to it.
Well the pressures in the system is not just to get higher boiling point, it's important to have to avoid cavitation damage on your cylinder liners
Man jays hitting him with the good questions glad I came here I run Evans in my race bike and it's never over heated not once
I run straight water and never had a problem.
If it gets to hot it won't take heat away as good as water.
th-cam.com/video/VACKWvcXbXA/w-d-xo.html
@@jimmybe64 it won’t dissipate the heat as quickly either.
Jay Leno is in a much better position financially then most anyone, The fact that he is a auto enthusiasts is awesome! He can afford a collection that the rest of us could only dream of!!! Awesome!!!! Jay Leno is awesome & has the coolest collection of cars.
I had never heard of Evans Coolant, I will be using it going forward.
It lasts a life time because you can’t open it 😂😂😂😂
The Powersports Coolant is specifically designed for bikes, quads, UTVs, etc. Jay is such an awesome guy - called us up and offered the spot because he loves the product. Truly understands how to enjoy life and has grown up just enough!
I should put this in my '90 Ducati Paso 906; when I replaced the starter motor I serviced the water pump, and it was 2mm thick with green crystals precipitated out with the low pressure. It wasn't corroded at all when I cleaned it up. But still...
The '69 911S being restored should go straight on it, too.
Thanks Mr. Leno. Two thumbs up.
i live on the east coast of canada and gave about half a dozen motorcycles might be time to go this route! thanks Jay :)
I tried this in my off road motorcycle that does not have a radiator fan, and it does what it says. The draw back for me was that your oil temp and water temp run at close to the same temperature, and I was concerned about my engine lubrication and longevity running the oil this hot, up to (380f). In a vehicle with a radiator fan, I think it would work great.
Awesome I am getting some for equipment.
hey Jay, I really enjoy the videos of your garage!
question: why will you not have any pressure buildup with thie evan`s coolant? does it have a lower thermal expansion than water?
thanks!
Cheers,
Jan
I like how Jay Leno is pretty well off and worth millions and he still says this product is kind of expensive. Nice to see a multi millionaire understand what every day Joe thinks about when they look at price of the products. None of the less, it may cost more but it is does not cost an arm and a leg for the product, not to mention you never have to change it and it is not toxic so no disposable problems. In the long run it is much cheaper to run this stuff.
I just ordered this along with the prep for my 1998 F250. It comes highly recommended and with Jay endorsing it - I'm excited to try it
How did it work?
Well...? What were your results? Good or bad?
@@chaddavid9897 It's been very positive. I originally used it along with stop-leak as a stop gap on my leaky heater core. I drove it for nearly two years before replacing my heater core.

10 years... I've been pushed into this direction by the garage who just serviced my car. I use my car a lot, in allsorts of conditions and it's being a bit of a problem. One garage refilled my car with just water! The garage recently added OAT but suggested this (power 180) instead of standard coolant. He also said that any water left after drain off would more than likely evaporate over time, with a flush not really necessary.
I've been using a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol and distilled water since I was 17, that's 49 years ago. My dad used it when he bought his first car after he came home from the war.
This is So Cool!
. . . funny as: COOL people driving HOT cars. . . or: HOT pants for COOL girls only . . .😁
I started running this in my 1989 Harley 3 years ago, have not have a coolant problem since.
LOL
Whats the torque rating on that cap.... amazing
😆
I can go get that awesome Aluminum one I've been wanting.
I think my 2013 Super Tenere is gonna get this !
If this is so good, how come people don't use this in cars? How come the this hasn't taken the car industry by storm?
Could he tighten that cap any tighter?
+AppleAssassin haha I was going to write that :D
Hahahahahaha
+AppleAssassin AAARGGH!!!! Now that I've seen it I can't unsee it! :D
He's nervous because he's pitching snake oil and hoping you don't catch on. Those in the business of spotting a lie will quickly note the behavior as a red flag.
but is he any good at getting the top off the salt shaker
thats a neat product
I use this for my ZX12R, best thing you can buy tbh!
I just recently started using Archoil fuel stabilizer. I guess with this I will wait for a followup and let's see how the Duesenberg does. (the Duesy like Pop used to say) .
A-10 Warthog? Those are awesome! Still using those today in Afghanistan.Sounds like you had a fun job in the air force.
Read the bottle, it ethylene glycol, drink it and die about 2-3 days later from kidney failure.
A couple of years ago I called Evans & talked to a rep, one thing he said was that it was flammable, he would not expand on it though. My guess would be it's amoulcified with a petroleum product? The only problem (if it's true) would be in an accident opening the cooling system onto the exhaust manifolds.
One more thought that may be a non issue is with a high RPM engine and no coolant pressure, could that induce more water pump cavitation.
What is the product # i would need for a 2010 VW Beetle 2.5L? Or how/where do i find it?
The VW of course calls for a very specific type, which is quiet expensive.,but it also is a high mileage coolant good for 100,000 miles.
How long does this fluid last/how many miles is it good for? Thanks!
"You ARE the father!" LOL
these are good vids
Awesome.. I will be getting that.. one thing i neglect is the coolant
Good stuff, thanks Jay.
This was a wonderful video and I will write a product introduction and review for the Door County Cherryland Ford Model 'A' Club tech and news monthly publications. We have about 53 Model 'A's in the club of about 47 or so people. A very active club considering the usual crummy Wisconsin spring and early summer and early fall weather.
I formally had cooling problems on my 1930 40-B Standard Roadster and so have many other members in the club.
Even though the cooling system is not pressurized that does not mean the engine will not heat up the 50/50 coolant to a point of blowing the vapors out from under the radiator cap and shooting out of the overflow tube.
We are turning the water to a vapor ... with waterless Evans coolant it is not possible to boil over.
There are no thermostats in the Model 'A's and inserting an industrial thermometer in the coolant in the top of the radiator of a idling engine shows 160 deg F consistently when all things are working as they should.
The cooling capacity of an 'A' is 3 gallons ... " if you can't cool it with two and a half gallons, you will not cool it with three gallons." Typically we let the non pressurized system seek it's own level and what ever pees out of the overflow tube, pees out. Eventually a normal and constant level will be established.
This product sounds perfect for our 87+ year old Fords that only are driven occasionally. ... Thanks again for the heads up. Craig Weis, Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.
Jay...
How about Porsche& Mercedes applications not to mention American iron cooling systems.This is great information.!
I'm going to try it out in a newly restored 86 Saab 900 T.Custom aluminim radiator for excellent cooling management along with the product.
We all thank you for introducing us to EWC.!
WOW, I thought you where going to say $100 to $200. but $40 sounds good. Im going to have to try this out. Thanks
I'm pleased that it would prevent the devastating corrosion you show us in the web show. I was wondering, if water is so corrossive, well, my grandfather (giocchino) would only drink wine because of the damaging properties of water, should I drink Evans waterless, or should I put wine in my Spyder Veloce?
I think the lid on "red" one is tight enough now!
Would this product help limit the damage if an engine blows a head gasket?
Or if a vehicle has an internal water pump (like a ford 3.7L Duratec ) and the pump fails causing the coolant to mix with the oil?
He normally did it when he was answering a question or explaining something. This made me believe he was either really nervous, lying about something, or wasn't entirely sure of what he was explaining or answering, or all of the above.
@2:50 "so you can't overheat" Interesting, so an engine between 120C and 180C is not overheating only because the cooling medium is not boiling. I think we can all draw our conclusions.
When coolant boils though it causes localized spots to become super hot which can ruin your day. But I see your point. If the coolant remains liquid that at least betters your chance of not blowing something
I figure if your staying below 500f you might be ok. The problem is boiling the water and getting hot spots above 500f

I'm sold
run this in my track car 🚙 great products got great video on this matter 😎👍
Done. I'll be buying this brand exclusively. Had no idea the corrosion could get so bad inside....
Cool how Jay let's people pitch theire product on his show. BTW excellent show.
I have a question if you dont mind, concerning hoses and seals, it was never brought up so what info and or experience do you have there? Much appreciated....
That is a damn good question and I hope you get answered because i'm curious about that as well. Do you have 12A or 13B?
On their website they say the freezing point is -40 (F or C, scales cross over at that point). I think that's about the same as ethylene glycol mixed with water.
I find this topic intriguing, though it would be helpful to see more detail as to what it is, exactly. Although other auto systems have improved reliability over the past years, cooling system problems are still very common. I suspect the culprit is water....
Freezing point is -40 F. Product is concentrated (?69%) ethylene glycol mixed with an additive to protect animals and humans who are goofy enough to drink it, and unknown other chemicals. Flammable. On the website they mention installing a 215 deg thermostat for diesel, though I don't know if gasoline engines need a different thermostat. You won't get the plateau of temp from boiling that is seen with water, but you also won't get the pressure spike. No plateau=?risk of overheating?
I wish I found this product earlier on! I had a bad oil cooler leaking oil into coolant, and swollen up all the rubber stuff. One day, the rubber seal on the expansion tank cap decided to go, coolant temperature suddenly shoots up and after I stopped the car, after boil so bad that the ca just let go, and blowing lots of steam out. Now I really have to worry about whether I have damaged the head gasket! If I had this product in, I wouldn't have this issue at all!
now time to work out how to get most all the coolant out of my pentastar
a neat tip for BMW owners, especially e36/e39/e38/e46 owners;
use this stuff, and get a low pressure expansion tank cap, like a 1.2 bar cap from german auto solutions.
these systems are pressurized far past what they need to be, and it causes lots of wear on the cheap plastic cooling system components. switching to this reduces that problem quite a bit
***** Do you have ANY actual verified data to back that up? Engine logs, dyno charts, links? Or can you just paste the same table of possibly made up stats over and over? If you have any hard, please share!
***** wrong
My cooling system blew up in my E39 540i. Switched to Evans, and I have had zero issues. I like the stuff.
How is the water pump life and seals with this stuff?
And if a pump fails or you've gotta change a manifold, how dangerous is it if some gets into the oil pan?
Wow! Thanks for the tip Jay, I and my Honda CBR 600F3 thank you. I'm returning the Honda coolant I purchased in preparation for maintenance and am going to put in an order for this super coolant. I will forever use this coolant in all my motor vehicles.
dmh11185 Don’t do that mate, this Evans stuff is total crap. It doesn’t remotely do what the marketing suggests it does. It’s a total con.
that looks like some good stuff! thanks for the video man!
I asked a Question which waterless engine coolant should I use in my Hyundai Sonata. In your video about waterless coolant their were 3 types in the video red / green and yellow. Is the yellow the one you mentioned in the video that you should use for my Sonata.
---------- Jay CAN YOU DO A # 3 / third video with Evans to Update us on how your Dusenberg is making out with this stuff & any other cars you've put it in ??? -------
I always change my radiator for a bigger one and make sure has plenty of fluids and my engine runs cold even if I beat on the engine 👍
Which should I use in my 1920 Model T?
We are comfortable operating in -40 degree weather, but have taken the coolant below -60F without it freezing. It contracts when cold, so it won't burst radiators. All glycol based coolants are combustible; the conditions needed to create fire are rare. It's a "gentle" flame like an alcohol fire and can be blown out. A water based anti-freeze fire is often worse because the pressure behind the leak will continue to feed a fire. T-stat mod is only for fuel savings (diesels) not necessary.
So I can substitute peak coolant with Evans cooling system on my 2007 honda civic?
I ran this in my motorcycles. If you did a road racing track day or raced on the track you had to use this or something similar. A great product!
Ron
I agree.
Evans... bring it to Brazil !!
Sold !
@evanscooling any problems running this in a 13B rotary engine? Also any tips of removing all the old water from a system first before replacing with Evans?
Any good or bad effect on the cars hoses?
How do you determine what percent of water after you drain the water. How do I make sure all the water is out. Thx Abad
the reason that car companies wont bother to use this product is simple. they know their cars will not last 100k miles without some part failing in the cooling system. gaskets, plastic parts, rubber parts, hose clamps, etc. every car i currently own, 1 truck, and 1 turbo audi and 1 v8 audi, have at least 1 coolant leak every year. the 1.8t audi has many a year, as i keep having to replace plastic coolant flanges due to cracking and stuff. that is their reason, their poor craftsmanship of the engine cooling parts prevents them from wanting to spend more money when spending more money would have given plastic parts made of metal that would last a lifetime instead of plastic which as we all know doesnt last long especially when its holding hot coolant or near a hot engine.
Should I also change the water pump when changing to Evans?
I own 4 vehicles ,first vehicle I converted was my 91 4runner,not only have I had no corrosion issues with it but I take it into the back country wheeling, camping etc. and it just made to much sense running a cooling system that does not produce excessive pleasure!!!! next was my S2000 and my 95 Previa ! ,could not be happier with the results so far !!!!!
+kato1140 better edit this, you mean "not only have I had NO corrosion..."
+Hugh Macdonald
got it !!!!!
Jay leno if i could have just one , just one of your cars id die. Id go to church every weekend.
Not only is it better for hotter conditions but it is also good down to -40°C.... Won't boil or freeze...
I think they need a new marketing director. I worked in the automotive industry for several years in dealerships, independents, and retail. Never heard of this stuff. Sounds awesome! I will be buying several gallons for my fleet.
I've used for 4 years. The benefits are multiple.
ddd228/Dave in Seattle. would it not work on any car?
ishootstuff Have you tried it yet?
This is undoubtedly an amazing product & step forward for cars, but I've a problem. Just bought a relatively modern car, which has had this installed, owner said the fans run more than usual, not a problem I thought, but it is. The fans must have been on so much they've become very noisy and will most likely need replacing, but even if I do that, the new ones will come on more than normal, and with the related noise. Anyone know what to do, I may have to remove it otherwise, shame!
I didn’t realize there was so much debate over what type of coolant to use in antique cars! 😅. What should I use in a 1936 Chrysler motor that I had rebuilt? Someone recommended just distilled water with some (not sure how much) rubbing alcohol and an anti-corrosive additive. But now I’m not sure! 🤔😕
Whats the heat capacity compared to water? Can it cool an idleing engine as well as water? How hot will my engine get before the tempeture delta between the air and radiator can dissapate the btu put out by the engine? These are things we need to know!
we used 2024-t3 on the A-10 but then swithed to 7075-T6.that was back in the early eighties.
Geez Jay Leno, you never even let that guy speak. Of course he was nervous and fidgeting with the cap. Try being on TV with some over-bearing guy that won't let you put a word in..
I need this product!
IN the video Jay stated he used this waterless engine coolant in his Corvair; wrong, a Corvair is an air cooled engine like all early Volkswagen beetles. It does not use any liquid for cooling....
HE WAS POINTING OUT THAT AIR COOLED ENGINES CAN SIT FOR LET'S SAY A YEAR AND YOU CAN START IT UP WITH NO WORRY ABOUT CORROSION.
Wonder if '17 Ford eco- boost would benefit from EVANS or void the warranty.
Evans might be worth the extra $ considering replacing corroded parts ( especially heater cores) are expensive .
Love this stuff! If you have a problem with your cooling system this could very well prevent severe engine damage. In a system with 50/50 coolant the boiling temp is much lower and once your coolant starts to boil the heat removing property is greatly diminished. With Evans the boiling temp is much higher meaning it is still pulling some heat out when the 50/50 would be boiling. Buying you precious time to realize there is a problem and maybe get off the road safely.
Agree with tzmndvl we wanna see the workhorses that keep your shop flowing. Also let us know how you go with putting the Evans into the Deusies. I might change the coolants on my W111, W109 and W112 Mercs.
Jay, you mentioned that you were going to try this in one of your Dusies. How's that working out?
Is there any way to talking Jay and his guys into building a performance Ford 300 inline 6? There is quite a bit of interest in these motors, but very few have truly gone all out and published their results (dyno proven). Either a naturally aspirated monster torque motor or a twin turbo version. It would be nice to see what you guys could come up with. thanks
"Ok, that's pretty cool!"
Hey Jay, who ironed your shirt?
I asked for a refractometer and a hydrometer at Partsource and they looked at me like I was stupid. They never heard of one.
you get them from a winemaker
eBay
The coolant pump would be fine because it's not the type that would let liquid compression stop it. It will turn fine. We've taken the coolant to -60F without evidence of it freezing. At these temperatures, you're going to have trouble with oil viscosity and fuel gelling (diesel) so you'd have to have a heat source to start anyway. We've had good feedback from the snowmobile industry.
